Various-Little Bangers from Richard Hawley’s Jukebox Volume 2 2X LP

In 2023 Ace Records released the album “28 Little Bangers From Richard Hawley’s Jukebox” where the acclaimed Sheffield

musician, singer and songwriter compiled together some of his favourite records. These were instrumentals and vocals

records that he had collected over the years and found musically addictive. The album received fantastic reviews and

allowed his extensive fanbase to discover and enjoy tracks like Ronny Kae’s ‘Swinging Drums’ and King Curtis’ ‘Hot-Rod’ that

were on the juke box in his home.

? Now, three years later, Richard has lifted the lid, taken those 7” out and replaced them with another favoured selection. One

again, this second version of “Little Bangers” is full of cracking records such as Chet Atkins ‘Boo Boo Stick Beat’, Frank

Minion’s ‘Watermelon’, Johnny Todd’s ‘Pink Cadillac’, Sunshine Theatre’s ‘Mountain’, Jet Harris’ ‘Man From Nowhere’, Tracy

Rogers ‘Baby’ and the Ventures ‘Fuzzy And Wild’.  

? A with the first album there are 28 tracks spread across two albums or shoehorned onto one CD. The extensive liner notes

see Richard discussing each and every track and what the record or artist meant to him. As he states himself in the

introduction, “the record you hold in your hand is the result of a lifetime obsession.”

? Listen for yourself and you will discover that this was time well spent.
